<h2>x - 2y = -4</h2><h2>2x + y = 7</h2><h2 />

To solve this system of equations by addition, our first goal is to cancel

out one of the variables by adding the two equations together.

However, if we add these two equations together right away, nothing

will cancel so we need to set things up so a variable will cancel.

Notice that we have an 2x in our second equation.

If we had a -2x in our first equation, then the x's would cancel out.

In order to create a -2x in the first equation, we simply

multiply both sides of the first equation by -2.

So we have (-2)(x - 2y) = (-4)(-2) which can be rewritten as -2x + 4y = 8.

Now rewrite both equations, as shown below.

<h2>-2x + 4y = 8</h2><h2>2x + y = 7</h2><h2 />

Now when we add the equations together, the x terms

will cancel out and we're left with 5y = 15.

Dividing both sides by 5, <em>y = 3</em>.

To solve for x, plug a 3 in for y in either one of our 2 original equations.

So let's go with our second equation.

Plugging a 3 in for y, we get 2x + (3) = 7.

Now subtract 4 from both sides to get 2x = 4.

Dividing both sides by 2, we fid that <em>x = 2</em>.

Since x = 2 and y = 3, our answer is the ordered pair (2, 3).

Seth has one less than twice the number of compact discs (CDs) that Jason has. Raoul has 53 more CDs than Jason. If Seth gives J
ELEN [110]
S = 2J - 1
R = J + 53
S - 25 = J + 25...S = J + 50

2J - 1 = J + 50
2J - J = 50 + 1
J = 51 <===Jason has 51 CD's

R = J + 53
R = 51 + 53
R = 104 <===Raoul has 104 CD's

S = 2J - 51
S = 2(51) - 1
S = 102 - 1
S = 101 <===Seth has 101 CD's

A shelf can be packed from end to end with 30 large books or 45 small books.
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

since 30÷45 = 2/3 then

The space taken by a small book is equal to

the space taken by 2/3 a large book.

…………………………………………………

<u><em>Calculating the number of large book corresponding to 23 small books</em></u> :

= 23×(2÷3) + 3

= 18.333333333333 (large book)

Then ,Kevin can pack the shelf with (at most) : 30 - 19 = 11 more large books
